Arsenal stars record wedding video to help groom get into father-in-law’s good books

Olivier Giroud, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Per Mertersacker and Joel Campbell took part in the hilarious video.

The aim was simple.

Groom Adam Tanous is a Chelsea fan, but his bride’s dad, Hughie, is an Arsenal fan.

It’s bad enough supporting a different football team to you new in-law let alone that team being one of your closest rivals.

ENEMIES: Arsenal and Chelsea are fierce London rivals

So Adam took the only approach viable – get four of the biggest Premier League stars at Arsenal to record a personal message to Hughie, assuring him that his new Chelsea-supporting son-in-law isn’t all that bad.

In the short clip, France striker Olivier Giroud addresses Hughie directyly, says: “I know he might be a Chelsea fan, but I assure you your daughter is in safe hands.”

Adam was able to pull off the video thanks to his job as a PR on Citroen’s partnership with Arsenal.
